EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Loco Foco consternation, or, The orful kat-asstrophe" takes us back to the political landscape of 19th century America. Published by H R Robinson in New York around 1838, this lithograph captures a moment of intense tension and anticipation. In the image, we see prominent New York Democrats Edmonds, Morris, Hoyt, and Butler preparing for an attack on their Whig opponents. The Whigs are symbolized either by a cat near the chimney or unseen mice lurking in the background. This clever visual metaphor represents the imminent clash between these two political factions. The composition is filled with energy as both sides brace themselves for what lies ahead. The expressions on their faces reveal determination mixed with anxiety as they gear up for battle. It's a snapshot frozen in time that encapsulates the intensity and drama of American politics during this era. This historical cartoon offers not only a glimpse into past political rivalries but also serves as a satirical commentary on power dynamics and strategies employed by politicians at that time. As viewers, we are invited to reflect upon how such tactics continue to shape our own modern-day political landscape. Preserved by the American Antiquarian Society in Worcester, Massachusetts, this artwork provides us with valuable insights into United States history while showcasing the artistic talent of its creators from over two centuries ago.
